here on kubuntu 12.04 is pretty simple set your default printer .... and i
guess is simple in the others distro the option is disable only because i
have only that printer but if you select the second printer , that actually
is the fax you can set like default printer .

IF you are on lpadmin user you can  do what you want .....via firefox.

for user in     youruserlist ; do sudo adduser $USER lpadmin ; done

anyway  if you want restrict and manage your system you can always ....

kdesudo kate /etc/cups/cupsd.conf


NOTE KDESUDO is only for kubutnu i guess , if you don't use it you shoudl
be able to do

sudo kate /etc/cups/cupsd.conf



search for this : (CTRL F) (line 72 and 117 )


CUPS-Set-Default

and remove them ... restart cups no password should be required  via
firefox... choose the option you want... the conf file is pretty simple.
